Have you ever wondered how it feels to be fully self expressive?
How is it to splash paint onto a big canvas with uninhibited gestures?
In our daily lives most of us type on tiny phones, look into small screens and write in small notebooks. Hardly anyone ever has the chance to go big and to release what is holding us back from stepping into our full power.
During our Shouts and Whispers day retreat we will work our way inwards - from big and liberating gestures and practices to the more subtler and quiet tones and whispers.
We will start the day with full body movement practices like dance and somatic movements, which are designed to get the juices flowing and the energy stirring. From this embodied state we move into a creative practice where we can release what we need to let go of through the power of art. We will create a huge collective painting/drawing that will carry our big expressive gestures on large scale paper. A release painting!
From this release we move into a contemplative phase over the lunch break in which you can journal, rest, wander in the beautiful gardens of The Quiet View to let the morning practice settle in.
In the afternoon we intend to listen to our innate wisdom and collect the fruits of the morning.
There will be a gentle yoga session to bring us back fully into ourselves and our bodies.
A fire ritual will allow us to work further with the creation of the morning. There will be plenty of time to reflect and listen to the space that has opened up inside through having let go of something heavy.
We will have a story time and whilst listening, create something small and precious for you to take home with you.
We, a group of 7 experienced facilitators will support you through this contemplative and reflective afternoon with gentle drumming, guided meditation, gentle movement and creative expression. Each participant will create a little artwork, brimming with the wisdom of the day to take home as a reminder of the day.
No prior experience is needed. We will guide you through the whole day.
Please bring your own yoga mats and packed lunches. Teas and snacks will be provided.
Walk the Walk Collective is a group of seven incredible facilitators who have decided to work together to bring safe, transformative healing spaces to the community.
We can't wait to welcome you to our very first offering!!!
